Mr R Cardigan, Headteacher

The staff and students are eagerly looking forward to meeting you over the coming months as you begin your transition to Poltair School. We take great pride in fostering a calm and supportive learning environment, ensuring you have the best opportunities to succeed.

You'll find our staff and students warm and welcoming, and before long, you'll feel right at home. September will arrive before you know it, so I strongly encourage you to attend as many transition events as possible. These events will help you make new friends, meet your teachers, and familiarize yourself with the school before your official start.

This marks the beginning of an exciting journey where you'll grow and develop, and rest assured, my team and I will be here to support you every step of the way. I truly believe that the more effort you put into school life, the more rewarding your experience will be. Our goal is to help you build confidence and character, so my best advice is to get involved - join clubs, make new friends, and embrace the opportunities available to you.

Welcome to Poltair School, and thank you for choosing to join us. As a student, you are expected to always work hard and give your best effort. We are committed to creating a happy and safe environment that fosters a love for learning.

At Poltair, we set high standards for behavior, attendance, punctuality, and appearance. Our students are expected to be polite, respectful, and supportive of one another, wearing their uniform with pride.

Poltair School is a vibrant and inspiring place to learn, and I look forward to welcoming you into our community.
